Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: M at Free against Double Time's $2.99. M also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.3) and update cadence (monthly vs every 22 months). Double Time's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3 vs 1). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
